“Affiliates are a higher percentage of our sales than in past years,” Georgoulis says. “This is most likely due to the current state of the economy, which has resulted in a high consumer interest in discounts, coupons, rewards and points programs, all of which are big drivers in our affiliate marketing initiatives.”

Though Petco’s affiliate program consists of about 1,500 publisher sites, its top-producing affiliates, about 2% of the total, account for about 85% of all affiliate revenue, Georgoulis says.”What
